UXPin is my go-to tool to create wireframes and lo-fidelity prototypes. UXPin: - is used by the product designers to build with interactive designs - helps us experiment with different flows to get feedback from stakeholders and team members - is used for design prototypes to test out interactions - increases collaboration between team members
I used to use Omnigraffle, but it would be time-consuming to make an interactive low-fidelity prototype with it, so I switched to UXPin to speed up my workflow and increase the amount.
Pros
I enjoy the pre-built elements that you can search through and drop them into your prototype.
The comments and annotations are great to keep track of feedback and notes that you need to provide especially if you are a remote team.
Our team is remote, so the ability to quickly share a prototype is fantastic.
I like how you can iterate a lot and manage version control.
Cons
Sometimes, it can be a bit buggy and slow if the prototype is complex with dozens of layers.
The learning curve can be steep the first time you use it. Or, if you haven't used the app for awhile; I sometimes need to relearn it if I haven't used it for a month or so.
The loading times can be quite slow where a page gets stuck. It would be great if this didn't happen.

UXPin is great for remote teams who need to quickly mock-up low fidelity wireframes and interactive prototypes. I don't think it's appropriate for high-fidelity work, InVision + Sketch is better.

One of our frequent mantra's is 'wireframe everything'. We found that UXPin is the best at meeting our needs for doing that. As part of our process, from the very beginning we wireframe as much of the site as possible and present clients a working link where they can click through to each page. This allows them to start to see how we think and let them know what we are missing. It's a much more real experience and it sets expectations on them for the content they need to provide us. With the use of UXPin's smart elements we can create layouts fast and correct based on clients modifications just as easily. As a designer it helps me take control of the conversation and address client concerns so that we know what content and assets are available to use before we start design. The wireframes also serve as a blueprint for our development department because they cover things like what form fields will be available and what areas clients will need to be able to edit content. Overall it creates a much more collaborative experience that encourages conversation before design decisions are made or code is written.
Pros
Smart elements are super nice because they allow me to create complicated features that will appear on every page. When the client wants to change something it is very easy to do so in one place.
Working on grid is important to me. Having the ability to change and manipulate that grid in UXPin is just what I need.
There are tons of add on features like Font Awesome icons and prebuilt stuff that not only looks great, but also just lets me get ideas across fast without committing to what the final design is going to look like.
I love the ability to edit things if I want. I can control several details, but it's not too overwhelming. They include various font options from Google fonts as well. You can design as much or as little as you want. The interface doesn't get in the way. It's there if you want it but has a simplicity that is nice.
Having a link on a live webpage is a necessity. As soon as you make changes, they are live. No more worrying about which is the latest version.
I'm a photoshop user so it has a few keyboard commands that are familiar like hold 'alt', click and drag to duplicate is nice!
Cons
It would be nice if the link that I share with my clients is shorter. It's so long and unintelligible.
Copy and paste doesn't always paste where you think it will. It would be a time saver if you copied a smart element from one page and then pasted it down at the same x and y coordinates on the next page.
'Cntrl' + 'Z' is good for one undo but try to undo more than a few and I'm not sure what is happening in the background. I had it undo some things that were out of my view on the page and I couldn't put them back without rebuilding the section.
I don't like to show my clients the link with comment mode turned on because it causes confusion. I wish there was a way to turn it off for a set of wireframes so that I don't have to turn it off every time I am about to send the link.
When you pull an image by a corner it is too easy to accidentally stretch and image. In my opinion is should default to keeping the image proportionate. People that don't know better will stretch things without knowing and there is not a way to reset to the actual size.

I think UXPin is really well suited for wireframes and getting a complete idea of the structure of a site because of it's flexibility. I could see someone designing a complete site in UXPin but for my needs Photoshop gives me more control over manipulating and creating unique elements that are specific to my designs. UXPin does a great job for us in starting the conversation, translating intent and delivering client content all the way to development.
